About

I am a compassionate and results-driven professional dedicated to empowering individuals and advocating for those who may not have a voice. With a diverse background spanning case management, operations, and marketing partnerships with Sony Studios, I bring a unique blend of strategic leadership, relationship management, and creative problem-solving to every role. My experience includes supporting high-acuity clients in securing stable housing, providing trauma-informed care, and fostering self-sufficiency. I have also managed relationships with over 900 hospitals for the Starlight Children's Foundation, conducting needs assessments to align programs with client and institutional goals, and led global initiatives and experiential marketing campaigns at Sony Pictures Entertainment to enhance brand visibility and engagement. Known for my cultural sensitivity and empathetic communication, I excel in developing strategic workflows, coordinating large-scale events, and creating impactful solutions that drive measurable results. I am currently pursuing a Master of Social Work at Capella University. I am committed to expanding my expertise and continuing to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
